John Baron is an incredible cruise director. We had people coming to trivia not to play but to watch John "do his trivia thing". He makes trivia very special. He has so much energy and is always around in the coffee corner talking to people. He has made a huge difference on this trip so enjoyed having him for this frolic cruise. It was really special to see Lindsay his wife again and his two adorable boys. The youngest has tons of jokes and the oldest looks just like John. They both got different parts of their father.

Certainly will miss him anytime he is not on our cruises.

The entire staff have been spectacular. There are always standouts of course. Daniella is absolutely everywhere she is a star. Her assistant F&B Kate is also excellent. Both Michael and Andreas were really helpful GM's. In the dining rooms we had great service. I still do not know how they manage that huge menu in Compass Rose.

Very happy with the cruise. Still things that are being fixed on the ship. Just like a new house you have to live in it to figure out what needs attention. Lots of workers came on the ship today with a punch out list I am sure.
